Silver Corps Badge - 23rd Corps Army of Ohio, 3rd division - recovered at Battle of Nashville

[Mike N Tn.]

Weather was fantastic today and I set my sights on a productive yard where I’d been digging Prussian mini’s.
The ground was perfect, moist, & cool. My Equinox 600 ran over a terrible signal, but the item was jumping up into high numbers.
When the Corps badge surfaced, I said a quick Thank u Jesus, that I didn’t cut it n half. The relic is Silver & was the official Corps badge for the 23rd Corps, Army of Ohio that saw action at The Battle of Nashville.
The inside shield was painted blue (3rd division) which is still lightly visible.

Fantastic! That yard is definitely a "dig everything" site, no matter how scratchy the signal...
